Just at first glance it seems pretty dark, and there seems to be a clear sense that this song comes from someone who has been around the block a few times for sure. I found some of the imagery to be powerful and evocative. I'd like to hear the music becuase I don't get the melodic sense from reading it.
It does remind me a bit of Black Muddy River for some reason.

I long ago took off my rose colored glasses the made me think everything Dead must be and was AWESOME!!!, no questions asked. Well, I'm asking questions now. Like, as covered above, what kind of sub-par, 8th grade poetry class sputum is that?
Sorry, it's not a judgement on the man or his overall work, just a single man's opinion of another man's train wreck.

Either that or:
Little old lady got mutilated late last night.
I can never decide.

Isn't being a music fan just such an endless source of delight? And isn't it just really good to be here right now?

I always loved that one...in context of course.
And, a few modern ones for fun:
"and the rain came in from the wide blue yonder
and through all the stages I wandered"
[again, context matters]
"I was with a girl
But it felt like I was with a boy
I can't even remember
If we were lovers
Or if I just wanted to"

In the quiet of the railway station running scared
That's a song I always loved.

And don't think I didn't notice your kind words elsewhere; as usual, I over react (initially thinking it was Chris/Smi2les I actually posted the "butt nutt" out of a sense of "returning the favor" in a place I normally would have just ignored/opted out). Regardless of who our GN is, defn got me riled, and as usual, a few too many responses on my part that will no doubt upset CLIFF and those right minded folks that hope we can just stick to the music around here...
My bad, per usual!
